You really think they are going to nix playing with a 9? It only works in Barcelona because of Messi really, they didn't play like that before him.

Looking at those players I don't really see the added value of Götze. Good to have the depth I guess, but not really a substantial improvement of their ideal 11.

I'm almost certain Bayern is going for a false 9 next season. Jogi has also been experimenting with a false 9. in the German national team. It would almost be a waste of talent not to do it. I'm thinking Guardiola liked what he saw when Mario played the false 9 for Germany. Sammer and him did meet in Zürich after all.
